...which makes his stuff weirdly multilayered.  He's (apparently) pro-
Wikipedia, and he expresses this (and gets humor for his show) by 
giving it some good-natured ribbing... which, in turn, he 
accomplishes by having his persona of an ignorant idiot spouting 
conservative dogma give empty-headed straw-man "praise" of it.

"humour".
